Kusog Tacloban: call for cash donations #YolandaPH #reliefPH

via Kusog Tacloban’s Facebook Page, 2:03AM.

If you are looking for a way to help Tacloban, please consider supporting KUSOG TACLOBAN (to give strength to Tacloban), an effort started by Taclobanons with the help of the Filipino Community Center in Hawaii and the FAIR Hiring Initiative in the Philippines. Relief goods and agencies are available to help Leyte and Samar but the lack of manpower is hampering efforts to get that help out.

Kusog Tacloban plans to:
• Recruit volunteers and mobilize them to Tacloban and other hard- hit areas in Leyte and Samar.
• Support ongoing efforts by augmenting the human resources needed to accomplish tasks.
• Coordinate with people on the ground to see who needs what kind of help.
• Match volunteers to tasks and manage the logistics of getting them in and out.

Donors should write Kusog Tacloban on their checks otherwise it will be lost to another Tacloban effort.

Online donations are accepted via www.filcom.org through its “Donate to Relief Efforts” page. Donors using this option should indicate that they want their donation to go to Kusog Tacloban by sending an email with this wish to filcom@filcom.org AND socrates@fairhiringinc.com.

Plan International Chief Executive Officer Nigel Chapman said: “Plan has spent many years successfully helping to build communities’ resilience to disasters and emergencies in the Philippines – but the sheer strength and impact of this typhoon is simply unprecedented and overwhelming. Many communities are now in dire and urgent need.

We have launched the highest possible level of reponse to this tragedy and are committing many extra resources and staff to help those affected get back on their feet as quickly as possible.”

Direct Relief is sending aid for Typhoon Yolanda survivors.

“As Direct Relief’s first emergency shipment of medicines and supplies arrives in the Philippines tonight, an estimated 650,000 people are still displaced from Typhoon Haiyan. Electricity and communications lines remain down in the worst-affected provinces, making the full extent of destruction and loss of life unclear. Direct Relief has made its entire $65 million in medical inventory available for the relief effort and has extended an offer of assistance to the Philippines Secretary of Health.”

Architecture for Humanity is taking part in the task of long-term reconstruction in post-Yolanda Philippines.

“With Architecture for Humanity’s experience helping communities beyond the relief phase of disaster, we are currently mobilizing to assist in long-term reconstruction. Through speaking with local stakeholders and construction professionals, we are working to begin understanding the on-the-ground situation to prioritize rebuilding needs and help affected regions build back better and stronger.

‘We are currently in touch with local architects and partners within our network, who are helping us to identify the most critical rebuilding needs – both in the short and long term. As we identify these needs, we will work with communities to build back better. Early support will allow us to begin working with communities immediately and empower local architects to drive recovery locally,’ – Eric Cesal, Director, Reconstruction and Resiliency Studio.”
